I'm not complaining with the power is back on but I sure would like to know who makes the decisions when the winds are still pretty intense right now, nothing much has changed from 9:30 last night when they hacked it off and the winds were light

Air Tankers are over the 330 fire (Cook) with more aircraft enroute... Most don't have far to go as they launch from the San Bernardino Air Tanker base a couple of miles away....

The fire is now 5-6 acres with no immediately structure threats. Highway 330 will be closed in the area, per Unified Command.
